Man sentenced to prison for defrauding TD customers

A Barrie man has been sentenced to three and a half years in prison for fraud over $5,000 for taking money from TD Bank credit accounts over a seven-month period.

Andrew Ramdass, 29, was found guilty of the offence at a court hearing Friday.

On April 16, 2012, York Regional Police launched an investigation after receiving a complaint from TD Canada Trust in relation to a number of fraudulent transactions. Upon investigation, they found that a number of customers had money stolen from their line of credit accounts by Ramdass, with losses amounting to $2.9 million. Ramdass was working at the bank’s Vaughan branch at the time.

That day, police arrested Ramdass at a home in Barrie and charged him with fraud.

Customers have since been reimbursed the money withdrawn from their accounts.
